Neil Young – Rockin’ in the Free World
And here we all thought today would only be about “Peckers” and “gag orders” loool 😆
The flip side of student movement effectiveness is, of course, the ease with which wealthy reactionaries can mobilize people against it. What does a ‘student’ do all day, anyway?! They produce no profit, no widgets! The ‘day’s exploitation for a day’s pittance’ crowd can hate them for their physical leisure. Thinkin’ ain’t work. The cop hates them for actually doing something worthwhile with their lives. Mass torture is a proven means of casting out the devil. Heliocentrism is obviously fake.
The Limousines – Wildfires
About building a fire. Fire needs two things: fuel and oxygen. Kindling a flame is fairly easy. Making it grow in a controlled, sustained manner is more challenging. It needs to breathe and it needs to out-gas. Too much oxygen too quickly and it will burn itself out. Too little fuel and the flame dies. Keeping it going means tending it consistently and letting it tell you when it’s ready to grow larger. It’s akin to a living thing that way. Social movements are like that, too. Steady, steady 🔥
